Okay, as I am one of the children born in 1999, I can admit that I will never have the experience of most of the things on this list, as I have never had the opportunity. (Nirvana isn’t classic rock, though. They’re in my Top 5 favorite bands) However, it upsets me when people express so much disdain for the millennial generation. And I would love to support the statement that, despite growing up in an age of technology, we are NOT all spoiled selfish brats!

I understand the concept of wanting kids to exercise during school, but I think that grading them based off of athletic ability is idiotic. If you want me to be able to run a mile in under 7 minutes, then why don’t you condition and train me to be able to do so, instead of just expecting it? I’m going into 9th grade, and am so happy to be facing my last year of mandatory P.E.

I agree with this. My take is that girls pretend to be “nerds” to set themselves apart from the crowd. Females have always tried to seem “different” to obtain admiration and novelty. Not just for male attention, but respect as a person as well. These girls might think that if they can pretend to be “nerds” in a society devoted to the internet/comic/video game culture, they may achieve this result. I’m not saying I agree with it, just trying to comment MY explanation of it.
